Meet Your Master Math Practitioner: Lemario Bland

Hometown: Macon, GA

Experience: "I have a Master’s degree in Education, and I'm a Teach for America alumni. I spent four years as a middle school math teacher and one and a half as a department chairperson before joining Carnegie Learning."

Why Carnegie Learning? "As a teacher, no other other publishers or edtech companies could compare to Carnegie Learning. Carnegie Learning does a great job connecting different skills and concepts and infusing multiple representations of math. I saw a great amount of growth in my students when we used Carnegie Learning materials. They left my classroom with an appreciation and deeper understanding of mathematics."

Fun Fact: "I was a military brat, and I was born in Germany."
